SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
minor or moderate injury or property damage.
(Read these precautions before use.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full
attention to safety in order to handle the product correctly.
This manual classifies the safety precautions into two categories: [ WARNING] and [ CAUTION].
Depending on the circumstances, procedures indicated by [ CAUTION] may also cause severe injury.
It is important to follow all precautions for personal safety.
Store this manual in a safe place so that it can be read whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
● An AnyWireASLINK system has no control function for ensuring safety.
● Make sure to set up the following safety circuits outside the PLC to ensure safe system operation
even during external power supply problems or PLC failure. Otherwise, malfunctions may cause
serious accidents.
- Most importantly, set up the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock
circuit for opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit to
prevent damage (to the equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).
- Note that when the CPU module detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during selfdiagnosis, all outputs are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the CPU
module occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be disabled. External circuits
and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
● Construct an interlock circuit in the program so that the whole system always operates on the safe
side before executing the control (for data change) of the PLC in operation.
Read the manual thoroughly and ensure complete safety before executing other controls (for program
change, parameter change, forcible output and operation status change) of the PLC in operation.
Otherwise, the machine may be damaged and accidents may occur due to erroneous operations.
● Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
● Configure safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit, external to the
AnyWireASLINK system.
● Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the terminal blocks.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
● Simultaneously turn on and off the power supplies of the CPU module and extension modules.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
● Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly. Doing so may cause device failures or
malfunctions.
● When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring debris do not enter the
ventilation slits of the PLC. Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
● For the product supplied together with a dust proof sheet, the sheet should be affixed to the ventilation
slits before the installation and wiring work to prevent foreign objects such as cutting and wiring
debris.
However, when the installation work is completed, make sure to remove the sheet to provide
adequate ventilation. Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
● Install the product on a flat surface. If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the
PC board, thereby causing nonconformities.
● Install the product securely using a DIN rail or mounting screws.
● Work carefully when using a screwdriver such as installation of the product. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the product or accidents.
● Connect the extension cables, peripheral device cables, input/output cables and battery connecting

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
● Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring
work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
● Make sure to attach the terminal cover, provided as an accessory, before turning on the power or
initiating operation after installation or wiring work. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
● The temperature rating of the cable should be 70 or more.
● Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in accordance with the following
precautions. Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire
breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
- Twist the ends of stranded wires and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires of unspecified size.
- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected parts are directly
stressed.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
● Connect the power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals described in this manual. If an AC power
supply is connected to a DC input/output terminal or DC power supply terminal, the PLC will burn out.
● Do not apply the 24 V DC power before wiring the entire AnyWireASLINK system.
● Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or
accidents due to malfunction of the PLC caused by abnormal data written to the PLC due to the
effects of noise:
- Do not bundle the power line and control line together with or lay them close to the main circuit,
high-voltage line, load line or power line. As a guideline, lay the power line, control line and
communication cables at least 100 mm away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, load line or
power line.
- Ground the shield of the shielded wire or shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not
use common grounding with heavy electrical systems.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module
may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.

The AnyWireASLINK is a high-speed and highly reliable system which releases the work site from complicated and incorrect
wiring.
In AnyWireASLINK, the FX5-ASL-M communicates with slave modules using IDs (addresses) of the slave modules.
The IDs (addresses) of the slave modules are stored in the buffer memory of the FX5-ASL-M.

A double check is an error control system. In this system, cycle data in AnyWireASLINK transmission is recognized as valid
data if the data matches with the data of the last transmission or is ignored as invalid data if the data does not match with the
last data. The double verification ensures reliability of communication.
The double verification is classified into a bit double verification and word double verification.
Overview
■Bit double verification
If one bit of data is the same between two successive transmission cycles, the data is valid and I/O data is communicated.
(1) Transmission cycle (last)
(2) Transmission cycle (current)
(3) I/O data
(4) This data is compared with the verification data (one bit) of the last transmission cycle.
■Word double verification
If one word (16 bits) of data is the same between two successive transmission cycles, the data is valid and I/O data is
communicated.
(1) Transmission cycle (last)
(2) Transmission cycle (current)
(3) I/O data
(4) The data is compared with the verification data (one word) of the last transmission cycle.
The bit double verification is suitable for digital I/O type slave modules, which use information in units of bits.
The word double verification is suitable for analog I/O type slave modules, which use information in units of
words.
Setting method
Set the double verification in "Double verification" of "Basic setting". (Page 52 Double verification)

4.4 Remote Address Change Function
ID
0200H 0210H
With this function, an ID (address) of a slave module can be changed using the buffer memory area without an address writer.
Applicable slave module
For the slave modules that support the remote address change function, contact Anywire Corporation.
Operating procedure
1. Execute automatic address detection to check that no error has occurred in the AnyWireASLINK system. (Page 55
Automatic Address Detection Function)
2. Specify an access method to a slave module.
Store 0002H (address change) in 'Parameter access setting' (Un\G10320).
4
3. Specify an ID of the slave module to be accessed.
Store the ID to be changed (old ID) in 'Parameter access target module ID specification' (Un\G10321).
ID Description
0000H to 00FFH ID of the output slave module
0200H to 02FFH ID of the input slave module or I/O combined slave module
4. Specify a new ID of the slave module.
Store the new ID in 'Change ID specification' (Un\G10323).
ID Description
0000H to 00FFH ID of the output slave module
0200H to 02FFH ID of the input slave module or I/O combined slave module
If the specified ID has already been used or is out of the allowable specification range, an error occurs.
5. Turn on and off 'Parameter access request command for the slave module' (Un\G27 b8).
At this time, 'Parameter access completion flag' (Un\G28 b9) turns off. When the parameter access is completed, 'Parameter
access completion flag' (Un\G28 b9) automatically turns on.
6. After changing the IDs of all the target slave modules, execute automatic address detection. (Page 55 Automatic
Address Detection Function)
Precautions
• Before executing this function, make sure to execute automatic address detection to check that no error has occurred in the
AnyWireASLINK system. (Page 55 Automatic Address Detection Function)
• This function cannot be executed for slave modules separated from the FX5-ASL-M because of disconnection or slave
modules having the same ID. Use an address writer to change the IDs of such slave modules.
• This function can be executed if only one slave module having no ID exists within one AnyWireASLINK line. If IDs of
multiple slave modules are not set, it is recognized as an ID duplication. Thus, the IDs cannot be changed.

4.5 Same ID Used Detection Function
This function checks whether the same ID is used for multiple slave modules through automatic address detection or same
address used check. The LEDs of the relevant slave modules are forcibly turned on.
• ID duplications are detected through automatic address detection or same address used check. If the CPU
module is reset or the power is turned off after ID duplication detection, the same ID used status cannot be
checked until automatic address detection or same address used check is executed again.
• Even if an ID is assigned to multiple modules, a single ID is stored in 'Number of the alarm IDs' (Un\G9984)
and 'Alarm ID information storage area' (Un\G9985 to Un\G10112). For example, even when multiple
modules have an ID 10, "1" is stored in 'Number of the alarm IDs' (Un\G9984) and "10" is stored in 'Alarm ID
information storage area' (Un\G9985 to Un\G10112).
How to execute automatic address detection
For details on automatic address detection, refer to the following.
Page 55 Automatic Address Detection Function
How to execute same address used check
Turn off and on 'Overlap address inspection command' (Un\G27 b2). If 'Overlap address inspection flag' (Un\G28 b12) turns
on and off, it indicates that the same address used check is completed.
The same address used check cannot be executed under any of the following conditions.
• When an error occurs in the AnyWireASLINK system (Example: Short circuit, 24 V DC external power supply voltage drop)
• Within approximately five seconds after the AnyWireASLINK system is powered on or system is reset
• When automatic address detection is in progress (While 'Automatic address detection flag' (Un\G28 b11) is on)
• When the same address used check is in progress (While 'Overlap address inspection flag' (Un\G28 b12) is on)
• When the parameter access is in progress (While 'Parameter access request command for the slave module' (Un\G27 b8),
'Parameter batch read command for the slave module' (Un\G27 b9), or 'Parameter batch write command for the slave
module' (Un\G27 b10) is on)
• When any of the following errors has occurred
Error code Error description
0CC8H Transmission cable voltage drop error
0CC9H DP/DN short error
0CCBH 24V/DP short error
1867H FX5-ASL-M hardware failure
3064H
3065H
3066H
How to check the same ID used status
When the AnyWireASLINK system is in the following status, the same ID is used for multiple modules.
Even in the same ID used status, the AnyWireASLINK bit transmission does not stop.
• 'Slave module alarm signal' (Un\G28 b8) turns on.
• Same ID used error (error code: 0D90H) is stored in 'Latest error code storage area' (Un\G10256) and the duplicate ID is
stored in 'Latest error ID storage area' (Un\G10257).
• The relevant ID is stored in 'Alarm ID information storage area' (Un\G9985 to Un\G10112).
*1 If multiple errors occur simultaneously, the latest error is displayed.

How to recover from same ID used status
Check 'Number of the alarm IDs' (Un\G9984) and 'Alarm ID information storage area' (Un\G9985 to Un\G10112). Then set a
unique ID (address) in all the slave modules. (Page 78 Number of the alarm IDs, Page 78 Alarm ID information storage
area)
Set IDs (addresses) of slave modules and execute automatic address detection of the FX5-ASL-M. Then, the IDs of the slave
modules are stored in the FX5-ASL-M and the error is cleared. (Page 55 Automatic Address Detection Function)
Precautions
While an ID (address) is used for multiple slave modules, executing either of the following can eliminate the same ID used
error. However, the address is still used for the multiple slave modules.
• Powering off and on the AnyWireASLINK system
• Turning off and on 'Error flag clear command' (Un\G27 b0)
